Amazon's "The Boys"

[FilmFreakosaurus]

It looks like Amazon switched to three episode dumps.

This season isn't, so far, as good as the last one. I still believe the socio-political points they are trying to make could be said in a stronger manner without quite so much bloody/gory violence and bad language. It tends to be the mark of a lesser script to rely so heavily on swearing. Some constraints on a production can lead to cleverer dialog. Though, Seth Rogen has never been one to be subtle.

Homelander, for one, seemed more menacing and deranged in season 1 IMHO. Now, he's almost like a caricature. It's like they switched more of the psycho to StormFront.

I can kind of see why Starlight had moments of violent behavior and lapses in judgement. Compound V tends to make the superhuman creations somewhat emotionally unbalanced and potentially dangerous. Maeve seems to be the most guilt ridden of the bunch... the conscience of the Seven.

I thought Giancarlo Esposito was better portraying Gus Fring on BB and BCS.
